    GameCube to Wii was fine.

    As for being fully compatible with the Switch, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be if they are doing another ARM based system. The Switch is not exactly difficult to emulate anymore considering phones have been able to do it for a couple years now.

      Phones are generally ARM based so I’m not sure that’s a convincing argument.

      However, Steam Deck, which is AMD64 based seems to also be able to manage Switch stuff pretty well from what I’ve seen online so there’s that.

      Really, though, I kinda wish Nintendo would step back from core hardware - or at least move to a partnership on that - and look more at production of software + accessories. Most of their innovation could still be captured with new accessories and games are where the really shine, but I do feel like the exclusivity is kinda a bit overdone and core hardware is always lacklustre (thorough they do still in optimisation for their own titles).
